System and method for directing performance

Abstract

Disclosed is a performance directing system that simultaneously controls cheering lighting devices of audiences by linking a performance hall and a remote place. According to an embodiment of the inventive concept, it is possible to identically implement and provide performance directing effects on audience seats of a performance hall to audiences at a remote place. Accordingly, audiences at the remote place may have the same experience as watching a performance at an actual performance site.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A performance directing system for simultaneously controlling cheering lighting devices of audiences by linking a performance hall and a remote place, the system comprising:
 a control console device configured to generate control data for controlling first cheering lighting devices in response to performance direction data based on the performance direction data generated to implement a performance directing effect by using the first cheering lighting devices positioned to correspond to each seat in the performance hall; 
 a data processing device configured to provide performance data generated based on a performance demonstrated in the performance hall to audiences at the remote place to implement a performance directing effect at the remote place in conjunction with the performance directing effect implemented in the performance hall and to separately process the performance data and the control data synchronized with the performance data; and 
 second cheering lighting devices controlled to correspond to the performance direction data based on the control data corresponding to a current playback section of the performance data, 
 wherein the second cheering lighting devices are possessed by the audiences at the remote place, and 
 wherein the second cheering lighting devices are controlled based on the control data the same as the first cheering lighting devices. 
 
     
     
       2. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the data processing device includes:
 a performance data processing device configured to receive and process the performance data; and 
 a control data processing device configured to receive and process the control data. 
 
     
     
       3. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the second cheering lighting devices are controlled based on the control data the same as at least one of the first cheering lighting devices. 
     
     
       4. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the second cheering lighting devices correspond to virtual seats virtually generated in the performance hall and are controlled based on the control data. 
     
     
       5. The system of  claim 2 , wherein the control data synchronized with the performance data is configured by mapping time code information onto the control data so as to be synchronized with the performance data by using the time code information. 
     
     
       6. The system of  claim 5 , wherein the control data processing device extracts control data mapped onto time code information corresponding to a current playback section of the performance data from the control data synchronized with the performance data and provides the second cheering lighting devices with the extracted control data. 
     
     
       7. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the control data is generated such that the control console device controls the first cheering lighting devices in response to the performance direction data. 
     
     
       8. The system of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a server configured to receive the control data from the console device and to transmit the control data to the control data processing device. 
 
     
     
       9. The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a master device configured to: 
 receive the control data from the control console device; 
 convert the control data into a wireless signal; and 
 transmit the wireless signal to the first cheering lighting devices in the performance hall through wireless communication. 
 
     
     
       10. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the performance data is one of a video, an audio, an image, and a text. 
     
     
       11. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the performance data and the control data are provided by using a physical storage medium. 
     
     
       12. A method of controlling a performance directing system that simultaneously controls cheering lighting devices of audiences by linking a performance hall and a remote place, the method comprising:
 generating, by a control console device of the performance directing system, control data for controlling first cheering lighting devices in response to performance directing data based on the performance directing data generated to implement a performance directing effect by using the first cheering lighting devices positioned at each seat in the performance hall; and 
 providing, by a data processing device of the performance directing system, performance data generated based on a performance demonstrated in the performance hall to audiences at the remote place to implement a performance directing effect at the remote place in conjunction with the performance directing effect implemented in the performance hall and separately processing the performance data and the control data synchronized with the performance data, 
 wherein second cheering lighting devices of the performance directing system are controlled to correspond to the performance direction data based on the control data corresponding to a current playback section of the performance data, possessed by the audiences at the remote place, and controlled based on the control data the same as the first cheering lighting devices. 
 
     
     
       13. The system of  claim 12 , wherein the second cheering lighting devices are controlled based on the control data the same as at least one of the first cheering lighting devices. 
     
     
       14. The system of  claim 12 , wherein the second cheering lighting devices correspond to virtual seats virtually generated in the performance hall and are controlled based on the control data. 
     
     
       15. The system of  claim 12 , wherein the control data synchronized with the performance data is configured by mapping time code information onto the control data so as to be synchronized with the performance data by using the time code information, and
 wherein a control data processing device extracts control data mapped onto time code information corresponding to a current playback section of the performance data from the control data synchronized with the performance data and provides the second cheering lighting devices with the extracted control data. 
 
     
     
       16. The system of  claim 12 , wherein the control data is generated such that the control console device controls the first cheering lighting devices in response to the performance direction data. 
     
     
       17. The system of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 receiving, by a server of the performance directing system, the control data from the console device and transmitting the control data to the control data processing device. 
 
     
     
       18. The system of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 receiving, by a master of the performance directing system, the control data from the control console device; 
 converting, by the master of the performance directing system, the control data into a wireless signal; and 
 transmitting, by the master of the performance directing system, the wireless signal to the first cheering lighting devices in the performance hall through wireless communication. 
 
     
     
       19. The system of  claim 12 , wherein the performance data is one of a video, an audio, an image, and a text.
